Stories Behind the Usernames

This thread is basically exactly what it sounds like. If there's an interesting reason for why your username is what it is, then post it. If it's not that interesting, post it if you want. For me, I wanted to use MyLittleTails, but there aren't capital letters allowed, plus it's 1 letter too long. And thus, mylittlepony was born.

I had The Big Lez Show on during signing up. The trippasnippa for those that don't know is a burrito style food that has usual ingrediants, plus a metric ton of drugs. "Its called the Trippa Snippa 'cos it makes you trip the f out."

I usually go with the name of Fenriswolf in almost all online games I play, just because I like the Nordic mythology and wolves.

Plus there was an unit in the old RTS game Age of Mythology called Fenriswolf, like Fenrir, the father of all wolves. And 91 is just my birth year that I add in because Fenriswolf itself is often already taken when I sign up somewhere.

Well my username was almost always related to some game i've played, like Ender (minecraft), Ratchet (Ratchet and Clank) and Crash (Crash bandicoot). They were usually taken already so i was always changing between those. One day I ran a Don't Starve blog with my friends, I was Rping as Webber (a spider dude) so i was the Spider Moderator, and well, it stuck.

I misspelled the name of a character from a book back when I first started getting on the internet. It took me years to go back to the book in question and realize I had done it wrong, by that point I was accustomed to the name. Being effectively random syllables due to being a variant on a rather obscure name to begin with, it's very rarely taken.

I only started to use IGN chronodumb in my early days of Warcraft III custom map called Dota... because i mainly use Faceless Void and was such a noob in using his skill callled Chronosphere (same effect as Red Alert that freezes everyone within a radius) causing to trap within it my teammates and leaving the enemies free to massacre them... Eventually, friends began to call me chrono-dumb... and i liked the name, so i started using it on every other game i played...

Mine is pretty simple, and not sure I want to expose it, but I might as well.
K is my first intial.
N is my middle initial.
And you can guess what Brisson is.
Kinda got it from my Dad, who used the initials NKB for things like his PSN Account, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and the like. It's always stuck, and I've NEVER changed it.

My name was originated by an unkown force that smashed my brain when i was thinking of an username, i was about to let it be like "daves", but then the force slashed trough my brain and when i regain conciousnes i remembered the feeling and immediately knew that it was so simple, yet awesome for me and so i became..."daveslasher".

*Real story: It was the first thing that came to my mind afther taking a dump with huge efforts :p

This is when I needed a username, I thought of the first object that came to my mind. It was Peanut butter brand called "Kraft" that I was eating at the time. and I added "er". so its a misspelling of "crafter" (Dark Ages: my minecraft days)

I am that which sleeps in the darkness. That which haunts the dreams of small children and grown men alike. I am the shadow in the woods; the force that makes you look over your shoulder. I am the antithesis of all that is good and righteous in this world. I am not a man. I am the AntiMan.

But jokes aside, it's a superhero concept I had when I was a freshman; he had the power to manipulate entropy and stuff. The name was pretty solid, so I stuck with it.

I came up with the name from my interest in the world of mechs and all the cool things that could come from it. Moreover, I at the time remember how neat the wolf zord was in Power Rangers Wild Force. Also, there was the wolf Zoid that I still don't remember the name of without looking it up. Added to that the idea of wolf Transformers and well there you go.
So, in other words, it's just a combination of my favorite animal and my favorite well...genres for lack of a better word.

Rxlr stands for
R-- my first name, and no I wont tell
X-- stands for X in greek numbers which means 10, and no im not either greek or ten, but it means my place in the guild of a game i played in the past
L-- stands for lazy
R-- Revolution

This name was made in a time where me and some friends had this guild in an MMO so my name got to be "Insert my first name" the 10th Lazy Revolutionary RXLR. Our guild was The Lazy Revolution

My username came from my older brother. 10+ years ago i wanted to play counter strike 1.6 and he installed it in my computer. i didn't know what name to pick and he just made one for me. I liked how the name sounded and used for pretty much everything ever since. Difference being is that he made the name "rlvvc" and i added the m after. I'm not saying more than that though.

I used to play a ton of Town Of Salem, and I wanted a name that'd be easy for people to recognize me across in all of my games. I'm completely unoriginal in everything I do and i'm as creative as dried paint so what did I do? I took the word Vampire, changed the I to a Y, made the P capital and what'd I get? VamPyre. When that was taken it went to VamPyreZ, when that was taken it went to VamPyreZee, and then I realized I was an idiot and it couldn't have capitals so it turned into vampyrezei.

When my dad was younger he had the name kerrballs. Nobody called me that because i lack testicles. But i like the name and Douglas Adams so i figured id just call myself that and tack the answer to life the universe and everything on to the end for good measure. Plus its never taken.

Mine is a weird one. I used a stock image of a guy shrugging for my Discord avatar and named it a shrug kaomoji and then people started complaining it was hard to mention so I changed it to shruggyboi/shruggyanimegril (I cropped the guy's face onto an anime girl) - stuck ever since. Even my email uses it, now.

Originally played a RTS known as C&C, C&C III was my childhood, Scrin is a reaaaaally broken faction in that game that I loved to death; 342 were the numbers I keyed in that actually worked when registering to some website. Scrin342.

Mine is CxJulian because i cant just write Julian on accounts ( always taken ) and i needed somthing more. I just chose cx randomly to have somthing to put for a few accounts while i figured somthing out and now its stuck because when my friends saw it they noticed something that i hadn't realised. If you say cx out loud it sounds like ### . :l my friends have the best wierdest sense of humor. And so CxJulian was born, but no caps here so cxjulian ;D

I said spider-man to a friend in a weird accent and it came out as Spoider-Man. I don't know why he found it funny but he did. Then we started gaming and made a group called the meme cartel, which I was evidently Spoider-Man. So, yeah. Why not.
